Chapter Twenty-Eight: Lanterns
Peng Peng, who looked admiring, pulled out a chair and asked Ye Mingxuan to sit down, "Brother Xuan, you are too good, and you have cheated so much money on the program team." ”
Teacher Huang gave a thumbs up, "Xiao Xuan, well done." ”
Ye Mingxuan proudly took out five hundred dollars, shook it in his hand, took out one and handed it to his sister Zhang Zifeng, "Sister, this is your pocket money"
Zhang Zifeng pointed to his nose with a cute face, "For me?"
"Yes, for your pocket money. Ye Mingxuan handed over the money to Teacher He. Said casually.
Peng Peng looked at Ye Mingxuan's hand handing over the money, with a look of longing, "Brother Xuan, what about mine?"
"If you're also a sister, yours is yours, but it's a pity that you're a younger brother. Boys should be poor, and girls should be rich. Do you understand?" Ye Mingxuan picked up the water cup and took a sip. "Hey, where's my porridge?"
Sister Zhang Zifeng looked at Peng Peng, "Brother Xuan, your porridge... Hmm Before he finished speaking, Peng Peng covered Zhang Zifeng's mouth.
"That, Brother Xuan, didn't you finish drinking your porridge just now?" Peng Peng said weakly.
Ye Mingxuan let out a meaningful "oh~".
"Brother, I'm going to chop wood. Peng Peng was seen by Ye Mingxuan and fled.
Zhang Zifeng still didn't ask for the hundred yuan, and handed over the money to Teacher He.
"Teacher Huang, do we have any arrangements for the afternoon?" asked Teacher He
"No, what's wrong?"
"If it's okay, let's go to the village in the afternoon, I haven't been to the village for a few days. Take the kids out and learn a lot. Teacher He drank tea and said.
"It's a good idea, and it's going around the pot every day. Teacher Huang nodded with satisfaction.
"Pempa, stop chopping wood, let's go around the village. ”
"Okay. Pemba put down his axe and ran.
A few people set off in a majestic manner.
The people in the village have become accustomed to Mr. Huang and their group, and nothing has happened to the onlookers. The five of them walked and stopped, observing the living conditions of the villagers along the way.
"The people in the village seem to be in a much better state of mind than the people in the city. Teacher He looked at it for a while and said.
"You don't know this, TL County is a strong tourism county, the place where we are called Heling Village, the main focus is also the tourism economy, basically every household has a farmhouse, and a lot of money is made a year. When life is rich, everyone will have more happiness, and the relationship between people in a rural area is still more sincere, not as indifferent as in the city. Teacher Huang explained.
I happened to walk to the door of Uncle Pan's house that Ye Mingxuan met last time, and Aunt Pan was washing bamboo shoots at the door.
"It's Xiao Ye!" Aunt Pan greeted Ye Mingxuan warmly.
Ye Mingxuan stepped forward with a few people, "Aunt Pan, let's go around the village, where is my Uncle Pan?"
"Old Pan is in the house. Aunt Pan packed up the bamboo shoots and replied.
Peng Peng and Zhang Zifeng were attracted by the bamboo shoots in Aunt Pan's hands, "Teacher Huang, this bamboo shoot is so big, the ancestor of the bamboo shoots." ”
Aunt Pan saw the rare appearance of the two, stopped what she was doing, and handed the bamboo shoots to Peng Peng, "We don't have any good things in the countryside, take them back to eat." ”
"It's not good. Peng Peng really wanted it, Zhang Zifeng was purely curious about how there could be such a big bamboo shoot. "Aunt Pan, we also have bamboo shoots in our family, but they are not as big as you, can I take a photo?"
"Shoot, shoot. "The rustic rural aunt doesn't speak much, only expresses her enthusiasm in this way.
Peng Peng and Zhang Zifeng took a few photos holding bamboo shoots and returned them to Aunt Pan.
"Aunt Pan, can we go in and talk to Uncle Pan?" Ye Mingxuan looked at the layout in front of Aunt Pan's house, and there were several rows of potted flowers on both sides of the door. It looks very emotional.
"It's okay, just look at it. It's about to cook, Xiao Ye, let a few teachers stay here for a meal. Aunt Pan warmly invited.
"Sister-in-law Pan, we just had dinner and visited, there is no one at home, and we have to leave in a while. "Just after lunch, Mr. He politely declined Sister-in-law Pan's invitation.
When a few people entered the house, Uncle Pan greeted him with an apron. "Teacher Huang, Teacher He, hello, hello. You're welcome to come here, everyone sits. ”
"Old Pan, what about cooking?" Mr. Huang greeted familiarly. "I'm not going to sit down, look at your kitchen. ”
Uncle Pan took Mr. Huang into the kitchen.
"Hey, Lao Pan, life is good, stir-fried meat with sharp peppers, roasted meat with bamboo shoots, scrambled eggs with green peppers, and back to the pot meat, this is a big dish. Lao Pan's craftsmanship is okay, it's so fragrant. Mr. Huang took a pair of chopsticks and tasted a bite of scrambled eggs with green peppers, and was full of praise.
At this time, the mushroom house, the phone has been ringing for a long time. In the empty house, no one answered the phone, and the little brother who filmed also took a desolate picture of this lonely phone.
Chen Chichi put down his phone helplessly. Several of the staff around him were chuckling in low voices. "What kind of show are you guys? None of the guests' calls were answered. ”
One of the staff members said to Chen Chichi: "Brother Chichi, you can watch the live broadcast." ”
"I'd like to see what you're doing in the mushroom house, and the guests don't care. ”
...
"Lao Pan, did you buy this egg?"
"No, it's my own free-range hens in the back mountains, and they don't feed any feed. ”
"Old Pan, give me a few eggs. Chicken, good thing. Teacher Huang smacked his lips.
Teacher He grabbed Teacher Huang, bowed his head and said, "Lao Huang, Lao Huang, we have chickens in our family, don't be like this." ”
Teacher Huang nodded in disappointment, "Lao Pan's skills are really good." ”
...
"Chen Chichi: Mr. Huang, Mr. He, is this how you treat guests in the mushroom house? No one answered the phone. ”
"Caught a live Chen Chichi, everyone came to watch. ”
"Chichi, are you a guest in this issue?"
"Chichi, I'm telling you, yes. A lot of dirty work is waiting for you."
"Chen Chichi: Are the viewers of this show so naughty? Is it really good to intimidate me like this?"
...
"Lao Pan, we won't eat the meal, we have to go back. Teacher Huang said goodbye to Lao Pan.
Lao Pan sent everyone to the door. Aunt Pan brought out a chicken coop with a small gray duck in it. gave it to Ye Mingxuan: "This was bought for my granddaughter some time ago, and my granddaughter is more timid and afraid of this, so I will give it to you." ”
Lao Pan took over: "Don't look at it ugly now, it has grown up colorful and beautiful." ”
Zhang Zifeng asked Lao Pan ignorantly: "Uncle Pan, are there any colorful ducks?"
"This is a muscovy duck, and when it grows up, it has bright eyes and is very beautiful. Pan nodded.
Teacher He was also more curious: "Lao Pan, will your granddaughter cry if you give me to us?"
"It doesn't matter, my granddaughter is too timid and doesn't like this duck. Say it's too ugly. ”
"Does this duck have a name?" Zhang Zifeng looked at the duck and asked.
"It's called lanterns. ”
"Thank you, Lao Pan, next time I come to your place to eat. Teacher Huang said as he walked.
"It's okay, you can come whenever you want. ”
"Lao Pan, it's real. I remember. "Teacher Huang is still thinking about Lao Pan's dishes.
Back at the mushroom house, Ye Mingxuan put the small lantern and the three chickens together. Peng Peng and his sister Zhang Zifeng lay on the edge of the sheepfold, watching the little lanterns stumble in the chicken coop, familiar with the new environment. Teacher Huang and Teacher He watched the three siblings in the pavilion.
The life you yearn for is nothing more than that.
